Definitions
- the present application relates to pillows and more particularly pillows for sleeping on ones back or in an upright position.
- a number of pillows are on the market, including many travel pillows for use in sleeping in an upright position.
- These pillows have numerous drawbacks.
- the horse-shoe shaped pillow does not provide any support on the side of a user's head, which allows the user's head to tilt and rotate sideway in a rather uncomfortable position.
- a pillow includes a center section; a first bolster; and a second bolster.
- the first bolster is attached to the center section on a first lateral side and the second bolster is attached to the center section on a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side, and at least one of the first and the second bolsters has a first cross sectional area at a bottom of the bolster and a second cross sectional area at a top of the bolster greater than the first cross sectional area.
- the center section is flat with an essentially continuous thickness.
- the center section has a top having a first length and a bottom having a second length greater than the first length.
- the center section has a generally trapezoidal shape.
- At least one of the first and the second bolsters are hinged to the center section at an intersection thereof.
- a cross section of at least one of the first and the second bolsters increases from the bottom to the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters.
- At least one of the first and the second bolsters has a triangular cross section at the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters.
- At least one of the first and the second bolsters has a triangular cross section at the bottom of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters.
- a cross section of at least one of the first and the second bolsters remains constant, decreases, or increases from the bottom of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters to a point between the bottom and the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters, and increases from the point between bottom and the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters to the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters.
- a cross section of at least one of the first and the second bolsters increases from the bottom of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters to a point between the bottom and the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters at a first rate, and increases from the point between bottom and the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters to the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters at a second rate.
- a pillow in at least one embodiment, includes a flat, generally trapezoidal center section with an essentially continuous thickness, the center section having a top with a first length and a bottom with a second length greater than the first length; a first bolster; and a second bolster.
- the first bolster is hinged to the center section on a first lateral side and the second bolster is hinged to the center section on a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side, and at least one of the first and the second bolsters has a first triangular cross sectional area at a bottom of the at least one of the bolster and a second triangular cross sectional area at a top of the bolster greater than the first cross sectional area, and a cross section of at least one of the first and the second bolsters increases from the bottom of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters to a point between the bottom and the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters at a first rate, and increases from the point between bottom and the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters to the top of the at least one of the first and the second bolsters at a second rate.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pillow according to at least one embodiment of the pillows disclosed herein;
- FIG. 2 is a top view of a pillow according to at least one embodiment of the pillows disclosed herein;
- FIG. 3 is a front view of a pillow according to at least one embodiment of the pillows disclosed herein;
- FIG. 4 is a back view of a pillow according to at least one embodiment of the pillows disclosed herein;
- FIG. 5 is a side view of a pillow according to at least one embodiment of the pillows disclosed herein.
- a pillow is provided herewith for use by an individual that sleeps or wants to sleep on his or her back, or that wants to sleep in an upright position, such when traveling.
- the pillow may be made from a variety of materials and techniques.
- the pillow may be a foam pillow preformed or a filled pillow sewn into the desired shape as discussed herein.
- the fabric for the filled pillow may be made from any natural and/or synthetic material, such as cotton, cotton blends, polyester, spandex, silk, etc.
- the filling too may be any type of material, such as down, cotton, polyester fill, micro beads, chopped foam, etc.
- a pillow according to one embodiment of the pillows disclosed herein includes a center section 122 with a first bolster 102 and a second bolster 104 on opposite lateral sides of the center section 122 .
- the center section 122 is relatively flat and has an essentially continuous thickness.
- the center section 122 has a top 118 having a first length and a bottom 120 having a second length greater than the first length.
- the center section 122 therefore has a generally trapezoidal shape as viewed from the top.
- the back of an individual's head rests on the upper surface 124 of the center section 122 with the top of the head toward the top 118 and the neck toward the bottom 120 .
- the left bolster 102 and the right bolster 104 are formed or otherwise attached to the center section 122 .
- the intersection of the bolsters 102 , 104 and the center section 122 preferably act as a hinge that allows the pillow to be folded in three.
- the left bolster 102 and the right bolster generally have a cross section with an area that increases from the bottom 106 to the top 110 of the bolster 102 .
- This variability in the cross section of the bolsters 102 , 104 provides greater material and thus support at the top of the pillow 100 .
- the additional material acts on the upper sides of the user's head to prevent the user's head from tilting and rotating sideways.
- the wider opening at the user's face and neck provides an open, less constricting feeling.
- the pillow of the present application serves numerous purposes. For example, as a beauty aid, the pillow prevents or lessens sleep lines on the face. This is accomplished by promoting sleeping on one's back and maintaining the user's head in an upward facing direction. The pillow also provides added comfort in various situations, especially for sleeping on one's back, while watching TV upright on a recliner or a high back chair/couch. A traditional pillow may also be used under the pillow of the present application to raise the user's head further upright. For back sleepers and DSAEK (a new technique that is used for cornea transplants) patients that have to sleep on their backs for about one week after surgery, the pillow maintains the stability of the head while the user is lying on his or her back.
- DSAEK a new technique that is used for cornea transplants
- the pillow of the present application helps provide the expecting mother a more comfortable sleep in these situations. As the pillow of the present application provides unique support to the user in upright positions, the pillow or a smaller version thereof should work nicely for travel by to comfortably support the head and preventing the head from rolling to the side.
- the bolsters 102 , 104 have a triangular shape with a first cross sectional area at the bottom 106 , 108 of the bolsters 102 , 104 and a second cross sectional area at the top 110 , 112 , of the bolsters 102 , 104 .
- the cross sectional area of the top triangles 110 , 112 are greater than the cross sectional areas of the bottom triangles 106 , 108 .
- the cross sectional area from the bottom 106 , 108 to the top triangles 110 , 112 may increase linearly, nonlinearly, exponentially, etc., or a combination thereof.
- the cross sectional area may remain essentially constant, decrease, or increase at a first rate from the bottom 106 to a point 126 midway between the top 110 and the bottom 106 . At the point 126 , the cross sectional area may then increase up to the top 110 at a second rate, linearly or otherwise.
- the transition at point 126 may be created in a filled pillow by pleating the fabric of the bolsters at the transition point as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the bolsters 102 , 104 are preferably symmetrical about a central axis that extends from the top to the bottom of the pillow 100 .
- the center section 122 has a trapezoidal shape with dimensions A, B, and C.
- A is about 11.5 inches
- B is about 9 inches
- C is about 10.5 inches
- the dimension E at the top of the bolster may be about 6.5 inches and D at the bottom of the bolster may be 4.5 inches.
- the dimensions given herein may be varied about 10% to about 20% for specific applications, such as for smaller travel pillows.
- the dimensions of the fabric sections that make up the pillow are nominal. Once assembled, the pillow will have approximate dimensions dictated by the dimensions of the fabric and the amount of the stuffing as well as the manner in which the fabrics are sewn, e.g., with tufting, gathering, gusseting, etc.
- the triangle at the bottom 106 of the bolster 102 may have dimensions D, F, and G of about 4.5 inches, 4 inches, and 4.5 inches, respectively.
- the center section 122 may be pleated at points X and Y as shown to better allow the pillow to fold at these points.
- the triangle at the top 112 of the bolster 104 may have dimensions E, H, and I of about 6.5 inches, 6 inches, and 6.5 inches, respectively.
- the pillow has been described herein with certain shapes, e.g., trapezoids, triangles, etc., it is understood that various other shapes may be used in the pillow.
- various other shapes may be used in the pillow.
- the shape of the top does not necessarily have to be the same as the shape of the bottom.
- the bottom may be circular and the top may be a triangle. In this instance, at the point 126 the bolster will transition from a cylinder to a wedge.
